Does CyBook specify a minimum SD card speed? If not, I assume a 6x speed card will work fine.

I Have to say from What I've seen and heard the SD card offerd by Bookeen is nothing special. Bookeen is just taking advantage of any extra profit they can make.

As for the Brand, It should usually not matter but I've had the best luck in most devices with Sandisk.

I have a old Lexar card and another No brand one and while they work fine in most places, they did used to get corrupted in the Gen3 at times. Haven't had any such problems with the sandisk.
